The Social Production of Age, Space and Exclusion: Towards a More Theory‑Driven Understanding of Spatial Exclusion Mechanisms in Later Life

Abstract: Gerontology has for a long time been described as "data rich, but theory poor". This is true for the study of spatial exclusion, too: in a recent scoping review on old-age exclusion, Walsh and his colleagues called for more theoretical work in the field of spatial exclusion. To answer this call, our article sketches out a heuristic model of an "ageing, space and exclusion" triangle, mainly based upon Lefebvrian thoughts. We applied our model to interpret the political concept of "Age Friendly Cities and Commun… Show more

“…In the context of ageing, the significance of these three dimensions in producing space should not be underestimated (cf. Moulaert, Wanka, & Drilling, 2018). According to Lefebvre, urban spaces are not places, but rather social relations that are constituted by the interplay of collective action and reciprocal inspiration (Vogelpohl, 2015).…”

“…Phillipson 2011;Buffel et al 2012). However, critical gerontologists have not yet considered the threefold and complex Lefebvrian conception of space (Moulaert et al 2018), but prefer to focus on "giving a voice" to "the most excluded" by promoting participatory methods in social sciences (Buffel 2015) and in urban planning and design (White & Hammond 2018). Furthermore, representations of space comprise not only decision-making but also spatial conceptualisations made by planners, scientists or policy stakeholders that shape representational spaces (images and perception of environments) and therefore occupy a crucial role in the production of space and spatial exclusion.…”

“…In this process, older urban residents are becoming more ethnically and socio-economically diverse (Koceva et al 2016), but attention is also called to achieve a better understanding of how physical and social environments influence ageing in rural and remote communities (Keating et al 2013). Hence, there is a need to systematically discuss the relations between age, space and exclusion (Moulaert et al 2018).…”

“…As different places have different histories, cultures and institutions, they shape norms, values and, therefore, different approaches and access to resources. In conclusion, using the multidimensional concept of social exclusion put forward in this edited volume suggests that we need to think in more complex and interwoven ways, and more theoretically, about spatial exclusion of older people (Moulaert et al 2018).…”
